I went up 2 lbs but I have a sneaking suspicion it's probably just water weight. I'm not going to let it get me down.  Nope. No way. Instead, I'm going to hit next week hard. It's my first time in over 6 weeks that I have not been on some sort of antibiotic, steroid or felt ill. I'm feeling pretty darn good! Finally. I've learned that over the past ...
